I spent the entire weekend watching the Masters golf tournament. Three roars for Tiger, but I was rooting for Katayama and his cowboy hat.

After a weekend at work, I didn't have the chance to get into full-on "we at the Pepper" mode, so I'll mention some good reads that took my mind off golf:

1. David "My So-Called Academic Bill of Rights" Horowitz got a pie in the face - and he acted all surprised and offended. He should know that when you treat other people like babies, they'll treat you like a baby. Ryan, a guest-blogger at Feministe and Liberal Avenger treat the pie incident in depth. I hope Horowitz got something good and chocolatey, as that will be hard to wash out ...

2. Remove Republicans is whipping up Rotisserie DeLay with a prediction that the United States government will finally be rid of DeLay in 2006. Even Rick Santorum is saying "let the people judge for themselves." Translated from Republican-speak into English, that means, "he's on his own."

3. I would rank it higher if I knew more, but this Bay Bridge welding mess is looking ugly. Even the Governator and the FBI are involved. Cheers to the Oakland Tribune for keeping tabs on the pols and the construction team, KFM Joint Ventures, which you'll be hearing more about in the future if the allegations about poorly done work are true.
